Please note and reserve Friday, Aug. 29, and Friday, Jan. 16, from 9:30 to 10:20 a.m., on your schedule. At the beginning of the fall and winter semesters, our entire campus—students, faculty, staff, and administration—will meet together in the church across the street from the school for a ceremony that includes academic pageantry. We enjoy celebrating the beginning of the semester together. Attendance is required of all students who are enrolled in 10 semester hours or more. Clinical schedules are adjusted so that everyone can attend.  Please bring your student ID card to convocation in order to register your attendance.
